smart-frame-positioning

[David Reitter <david.reitter@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

I've got a mode here that positions newly opened frames  
`intelligently' by looking at the position of the current frame. It  
also keeps track of where users have moved frames before they're  
closed (deleted) so that frames with the same name (i.e. showing the  
same buffer initially) will open in the same position.
These are functions a window manager can't take care of. I've written  
this for Aquamacs because I was annoyed by frames always opening in  
overlapping positions. If you have a setup where a lot of frames  
open, e.g. one for each buffer visiting a file, you appreciate the mode.

Is this something people would be interested to accept into Emacs? In  
that case, I would prepare a package.

Cheers
David
